Oh, Oliver really loved it! The best stories usually put the little ones to sleep, but Oliver lasted a very long time! ❤️

Ollie lasted as well as he did, despite that person kicking the back of your seat on the plane keeps knocking you awake when you are trying to cop a nap. Oliver finally succumbs to mister sand litter kitty. Maybe Annie can reread the last two pages for him tonight when he is fresh.

That award resembles a fire hose nozzle, with a funky widget on top.

Tonight’s Rain in the Desert. One clap of thunder, 8 minutes of rain.

A weekly paper and it’s only 25 cents? I’ll take a subscription! Where do I sign up? And yes, Chesney deserves the Lifetime Achievement Award for Crankiness!

Today is:

NATIONAL CHILD HEALTH DAY

NATIONAL SMARTIES® DAY. I have some Smarties and I will eat some to honor the day!

NATIONAL PRODUCE MISTING DAY

NATIONAL CONSIGNMENT DAY

NATIONAL FRIED SCALLOPS DAY

NATIONAL NAME YOUR CAR DAY. My car is a Chevy Malibu. I didn’t have the cash to pay for it when I got it, so I had to make payments. A 3-year loan and I got it paid up in 25 months instead of the 36 months. My car’s name is Merry, because that’s how I felt about getting her paid off and because my sister, Mary, also drives a Malibu. So I named my car after Mary, but I spelled it differently.

NATIONAL CUSTODIAL WORKER’S RECOGNITION DAY. Custodians are taken too much for granted and never get the credit or appreciation they deserve. three cheers for custodians! Or, make that three MILLION cheers!

With Lily in second place!

I would love to read this magazine right now!

NTSC Television channel 1 hasn’t existed in North America since 1948.

Aw, Chez doesn’t want this award. Can hardly wait for the morning light, the Sierra had more snow than expected yesterday.

Another good panel (not a strip, I guess!). “Garfield bows out,” indeed!

I think Chesney is a shoo-in for the lifetime achievement award.

Can you “grin and bear it” ?

Scallops….Yum Yum!! When I was a teenager we had a Honda my dad named Henry (yes my dad liked the actor Henry Fonda ;-) ) Go ahead & groan , everyone :-)

Elvis, from BCN, has been nominated for World’s Crabbiest Cat. I think Lily could give him a run for his money.

I was thinking Chesney would be the recipient of nine lifetime achievement awards!

FREE ELDO!

Looks like Chesney’s a shoe -in for a Cranky award. He may have some competition from Pippi from Tavicats, however. (Who’s not only grumpy, but downright psychotic.) On another note, saw four sparrows, two juncos, a robin, and a wren while out walking today.
